Chambered Muffler Q's

[final5-0]

I've been looking at a catback from Edelbrock pn5647. They say the muffler is a three chamber type.

I know chambered mufflers don't work well with turbos but can any of you guys tell me if this catback will be ok with a KB?

Do you guys think this catback will be a good bit louder or about the same as my stock catback with my Mac lt's & cat h-pipe?

I'm looking for performance first and the kind or type of sound makes no difference to me at all and the last thing I want is a loud exhaust that makes every cop in town look my way, lol.

With that being said if any of you have any suggestions about other catbacks I'd really like to hear what you have to say.

TTT

Anybody out there?

Usually exhaust threads cause lots of activity.

why would you want to restrict that?

also i think my roomates GF has this catback and it sounds horrible worse than stock

if you want to stay deep and mellow....

may i suggest a prochamber first or an h pipe second and a straight through muffler with that blower. if you wnat to not kill your wallet on magnaflow, get some dynomax race bullets and weld them in with 2.5 or even 3 inch piping.

i would use MAC tips and flow tubes or if you already have a catback you can use your existing pipe

I have hung out with the Edelbrock rep at a couple of shows last year. He claims there muffs are "Decent". You may want to go Magnaflow or Ultraflows which are not chambered.

OK guys

Are yall saying to stay away from the chamber type muffler?

It will be a while until go to the KB but I thought I should go with a catback that will work with both combos.

Straight through design muffs have less of a restriction compared to chambered. However I wish I saved the article I read were it showed that straight though design muffs over a period of time will deteriorate (fiberglass packing takes a poop) and become a restriction not making them better than chambered.

I wish you could find that too, I would like to read it.
